When it's good weather in the north, it's bad in the south and so on.The usual answer is still Januar to April. These are the summer months of Australia, and therefor primarily have good weather and good temperature.The middle and the southern parts of Australia are the places to be during summer. Because of the wet season, the Northern part is just way too hot and the humid is unbearable. A good place to start is Sydney!
